Audubon County Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Audubon Co., Iowa) 1885-1894, 1887-10-27
A Nonpartisan Question.

The proposition submitted TO the
people by the board of supervisors as to
whether or not they shall issue bonds
for the purchase of poor farm, is en-.
tirely independent of party influence.
1t is in no respect party question. 1t
is submitted by the board in response
to the requests Of great many voters
irrespective Of party alliliation. The
verdict for or againt will be rendered
by the people rather that by republicans
or democrats. Thus far very little ex-
preston of opinion has been heard, but
the question Is certainly receiving
thoughtful consideration by voters, and
the verdict will be deducted from sound
reasoning. 1t is of sufficient import
ance to enlist the interest of all, and
draw out full vote. Further, If the
verdict shall be in favor of the PROPOSE
ton 1t Is important that the board of
supervisors shall be made up of men
capable in business affairs and who
have demonstrated their ability to man
age the county sinterests. Not men, who
by parsimony and penny-wise manage
ment would cripple the farm from the
day of purchase, but men, who by jul
dicious and wise management would
make II a success.
In several counties Of the state the
county poor farm Is self sustaining,
while in Others it is a burden to the tax
payers, everything depending upon the
management. Its patronage would not,
probably, be as large as is the number
of paupers who now gain sustenance
from the county fund As some would
resent tho odium of habitation at the
poor farm, and reluctantly resort to
honest labor as an alternative. There
would be few dependents. If such
mode of caring for unfortunates is wise,
now is certainly the time to make the
outlay in Audubon county. Land Is
rapidly advancing IN value, and can be
bought today for twenty-five per cent
less than by the time the matter could
be brought before the people again.
The county will profit not only by the
advance, but will Immediately be re-
lieyed Of the large expense incurred in
supporting paupers in the present ex-
travagant manner. If such measure Is
expedient, now is the time for Its adop,
ton.
TIE REPUBLICAN would not influence
voters upon this question, as 1t is before
the people, and will be settled right, but
we would urge the Importance Of a
careful consideration and a full vote.

Congressman Holmes.

The address Of Congressman Holmes
was confined almost entirely to the ma
tional administration, showing its false
pretense and failure to fulfill the pledges
upon which 1t was advanced to power.
lie showed how the democratic party
after having charged republicans with
boarding an unwarranted sum In the
treasury, had doubled the actual surplus
In the short time Of Its control, and had
utterly failed TO make any effort to re.
duce the tariff, to which IL was unequiv
ocally pledged. The speaker wore the
honored badge Of the Grand Army, and
very forcibly defends the principles for
which he fought. lie recounted the
policy Of the president in making APP
pointmcnts; that while there is an act
Of congress giving union veterans the
preference, all else being equal, they had
been regularly deposed to make room
for the e1rebels and northern copper
heads. In the departments Villas and
Black alone represented the union
forces, while hordes OF rebel brigadiers
thronged the public buildings, and are
jostled and insulted by the dominant
party; he cited the case Of Miss Van
Lew, who had been secured 4 $500 per
year position by Gen. Grant, and had
been degraded and finally removed by
the present administration. The south
ern crimes at the ballot box he
regards with alarm, but considers
them hopeless Of correction while the
present party, whose existence Is de-
pendent upon fraud and outrage, Is In
power. lie showed the falsity Of the
claim that the president is deserving Of
credit for retaining public lands; that
the president is without power In the
premises; that the power to give or
claim Is vested In congress with ap-
prevail of the president; he did not for.
get to mention the presidents heartless
veto of the Des Moines river land bill,
refusing the right to contest In the
courts their claims to the land, and at
tributes the veto to the fact that the
company claiming title to these
lands Is composed Of New York CAPT.
talsts, In whose hand his excellency is
a plant tool. The combination of
democracy and labor he considers n
misalliance, in recollection of the tragic
effort Of that party to continue labor in
slavery and humanity in the class of
chattels. Very little time was devoted
to state affairs. Those who met and
heard Mr.. Holmes were impressed with
the fact that the tenth district has IN
able representative.

There are here located two first class

too much, for Mr.. Snyder will take it
and furnish them as good q quality

Look to your old fields, take out the
briars and red brush and see that
you help TO furnish grain in sufficient
quantities to keep the mill going and
we will all rejoice together.
